historical/BIOGRAPHiCAL SKETCH

Rubush and Hunter was a successful and well-known Indianapolis architectural firm founded in 1905.  The firm designed almost 200 buildings in Indianapolis, Florida and the Midwest.  The partnership was noted for the replacement of buildings on Monument Circle in the early 1900’s.  Fraternal and social clubs were their early primary clients.  In addition, they designed many public buildings, including the Indiana School for the Deaf, the original Coliseum and Livestock Pavilion on the Indiana State Fairgrounds, City Hall, and several schools.  Many of their buildings achieved national significance.

The firm was noted for their elaborate theater buildings; still in use in Indianapolis are the Circle Theatre, the Spanish Baroque Indiana Theatre, and the Walker Building; headquarters and factory for Madame C. J. Walker, (including a theater, ballroom, beauty shop, drug store, coffee shop and more). A number of their designs used glazed cream terra cotta.  The Art Deco style was favored in many of their structures, including residences and apartment buildings.  They were considered to be the most prolific Indianapolis designers of this style.

The partners retired in 1939 and made Florida their home in the 1940s.  Earlier in Florida they had designed and built many buildings during the large building boom of the 1920s, including a hotel for Carl G. Fisher in Miami Beach.

Preston C. Rubush was born in Fairfield, Indiana in 1867.  He studied at the University of Illinois, enrolling at the Champaign-Urbana Builders’ Course in 1887, worked with James F. Alexander (from Lafayette, Indiana) for two years in Peoria, came to Indianapolis in the 1890s and entered into a partnership with J. H. Scharn in 1893.  Scharn retired in 1900 and the firm became known as P.C. Rubush and Co.

Edgar O. Hunter was born in Versailles, Indiana in 1873.  The family moved to Indianapolis.  Edgar studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania for two years, graduating in 1896 and returned to Indianapolis in 1897 to work for the firm of Vonnegut and Bohn.

Frank Hunter, younger brother of Edgar and later a prominent Indianapolis residential architect, worked for Preston Rubush briefly and is credited for bringing the two architects together to form the firm of Rubush and Hunter.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The collection contains photographs of some of the commercial buildings and residences designed by the architectural firm of Rubush & Hunter.  Many images show construction and excavation sites but most images show just the finished buildings. The photographs were made between 1902 and 1941.

The photographs are arranged in two series. Series 1 contains photographs of commercial buildings and residences designed by Rubush & Hunter. They are arranged alphabetically by the name of the building or client. When the names of contractors, addresses, dates, etc. were found on the verso of the photographs these are listed after the name of the building.  Descriptions, names, addresses, and dates supplied by the processor are enclosed in square [ ] brackets.  Series 2 appears to be photographs, postcards, and a pamphlet of architectural details and buildings that were used as examples for study by the architects.
